• The Mets have not decided whether Jon Niese will make one final start Sunday at Citi Field, or finish his season Wednesday in Cincinnati. The Mets are debating caution with Niese, considering the two months he missed earlier this year with a partially torn left rotator cuff. They will reexamine his shoulder after the season.
